OK, I know you were ...
Question: OK, I know you were disappointed with the new season of
Desperate Housewives (I was, too) but don't you think that the last three episodes were the best of the season? I especially loved the last one (Jan. 8). The interaction between characters who usually don't share scenes (Gaby-Tom and Lynette-Carlos) was brilliant. And it was great to see (at last) Andrew sharing (hot) kisses with his boyfriend. I was afraid ABC wouldn't let them do this (I can't remember which big networks aired the first kiss between two men or two women). I hope our Wisteria ladies are back for good!
Answer: Got quite a bit of mail, all positive, after last Sunday's comeback episode, and it really
was a comeback. Even Susan, arranging the bowling party for Zach and Mike, came off as much less of a ditz than usual. And Bree's conflict with Andrew is certainly juicy, going a lot farther than I ever remember things happening on
Knots Landing. All in all, a very fun and saucy hour and a sign that things are trending upward for the show. Which makes this observation from James, who wrote in with his own rave about the episode, very timely: "Now that most seem to agree the show is out of its rut, when will the media lighten up on the show and loss of buzz? I'd hate to see what happens to
Grey's Anatomy or
Lost when they start to slow down and lose their buzz, as the media will have another reason to call a show over when they smell blood in the water."
Isn't that the truth? I seriously don't enjoy piling on when a show has a so-called "sophomore slump" or (worse) "jumps the shark," and I'm happy to put Housewives back in my winner's circle, even if I still think it pales next to Grey's Anatomy these days. Which brings me to the next topic.
